Distance Determination


To determine the distance to a galaxy using this graph: first find the Distance Modulus (mV-MV) along the horizontal axis (x-axis), go up to the diagonal line which corresponds to the relation between Distance Modulus and actual distance, then read across to the vertical axis (y-axis) to get the actual distance measure. Write the corresponding value of the distance in the correct blank on your answer sheet.

Another version of the Distance Determination graph with a different scale - you may find it easier to read.
